june freebie

Happy Freebie Day everyone!
This month one winner will receive ::
a mini cactus-fabric hand sewn box AND....
a corduroy & cactus doorstop!
I've been tinkering with a doorstop pattern for a while and I love the chunky squareness of this! I have filled this one with beanbag beans so you could see the shape, so the winner will need to provide a bag of lentils or a BIG pebble to add the weight to actually make it a doorstop (I would add the lentils myself but I don't want to give mr.postman more than I need to, sneaky huh??)
So if you would like to enter please comment on this post and I will announce the winner sometime on Sunday
**international postage is not a problem
**one entry per person please
**please make sure I can contact you via your comment
good luck!

  23. YEA! How fun! I hope I win!! :) I love your fabric boxes and have been wanting to make one ever since I saw your post but haven't worked up the guts yet (or the materials). Great idea with the doorstop! I definitely need something like that to keep doors from accidentally slamming and little fingers being crushed!
